Top 3 Excuses I Can't Stand from WOHMs..

1. We NEED two incomes to survive... Yeah Right! I honestly believe that out of the people that say this 90% would be just fine if they would cut their lifestyle, move to a cheaper area and sacrifice. I am not buying it one bit when people say this.

2. I put my kid in Daycare for the socialization.. Good grief, how much socialization does a 10 month old need?? Besides there are better ways to much socialize young children.

3. I am a better mom if I work outside the home.. UGHH! How in the world do you think you are a better mom by handing your kid off to Grandma or someone else to raise while you go work?? Unless you are going to beat them or verbally abuse them, I always think at home with mom is where kids thrive the most..

THere are others I can't stand, but these are my top 3. Have at it..

You've never been swimming late at night under the stars with the pool lights on? It's the BEST. What makes it more dangerous for me to be in the pool with my daughter after night fall than during the daylight..it's not like the sharks are gonna get us... ;-)

 

Yes. We. Did.

"well I mean honestly.. people don't keep their pools locked up the right way for you,"
for me? lol. Not for me, hopefully for the 2 year old who doesn't know how to swim yet.

"hey don't do their nails well enough for you,"

not for me, for themselves and their personal hygiene. but let's not get into that again.

"they don't have receptions fancy enough ."

Never said that.

I have a backyard pool, too. It's accessible to anyone with access and permission 24/7. Why wouldn't it be?

Where we currently live the pool is CLOSED after 9pm due to the fact that the neighborhood insurance doubles when the pool is accessible and there is no lifeguard on duty. To answer your question though, yes I have. It is quite nice. Doesnt change my original statement that it isnt safe to be in the pool when there is no one else there in case of an emergency.

I guess you have never seen the dangers of pools. I watched a show the other night talking about the dangers of pools. Pool drains are often very dangerous things. At night when you cant see them very well, if there is any damage to them they can suck you underwater and you can not get out. They showed one pool drain on the show that didnt look damaged at all and they had a dummy doll that was about the size of a 5 yr old that was sucked completely inside and they could not get it out. After watching the dangers of pools I wouldnt go into a pool that didnt have lifeguards that know where the main shutoff valve is to stop the suction. Can you imagine if your arm or leg or your DD arm or leg got caught in one of those drains? There is no one there that knows how to shut off that suction or to help you. It is just something I dont think is safe at all.

A pool that is owned by an individual is never really "closed" in the context in which we were speaking.

"A pool that is owned by an individual is never really "closed" in the context in which we were speaking."

what context was that?

"we can literally swim 24/7 if we so choose."
so can others if the pool is open 24/7 shudder
